General device settings

The global settings for the device are settings that should be set once for all channels and streams. They are placed under the device item in “Settings” tab. When global settings change, major functionalities change as well. The following table contains the device’s general settings:

Setting name	Possible values	Value taken from device	Default value
Model name	Manufacturer name and model name	✓	--
HTTPS enabled	No Yes	×	No
HTTPS port	[1,65535]	✓	443
HTTPS Validate Certificate	No Yes	×	No
HTTPS Validate Hostname	No Yes	×	No
Media Service	Media 1 Media 2	✓	Media 2 service - if device supports it, else Media 1 service. See Media service

Media Service should be changed only if there are known compatibility issues with the device with the default Media Service

Changing the Media Service requires a Recording Server restart afterwards.

When changing Media Service from Media 2 to Media 1, make sure to not have a codec set to H.265. Media 1 does not support H.265 and when using it some devices incorrectly report the current codec.
